For You

I know it may seem tough

I know, I understand, even though

it may seem like I never do

No, wait, that wasn't the right way to begin,

let's start from the beginning, the way

it really should be

I guess I can say that we're founded

on love, but

is that really all there is to it?

Why, then, do we still feel

pain? No, I don't

want to ask because I know the answer:

It's because of love, it's all

because of love, because

that's part of love and part of love is pain

I understand now, better than I did-

now does it seem like I understand?

I certainly hope it does

Because, after all, that's what

matters to me most;

the fact that it makes sense to you

The fact that you can see

just as well as possible

why this all happens, and why it works the way it does

Yes, there's trust, and passion

communication and time

but you see, those all matter for other aspects

I really truly want to show you

how this plays out

how this expresses itself

I want to say to you something

that I never have before,

never said to anybody

Something that will make you

stop, and stare at the screen because

I have made you feel what I want you to feel:

Hope, love, bliss, alleviation

from the pain

because I feel that it's possible

And I know I have those problems

with talking, and whatnot

and that I'm skilled with words or whatever it may be

But none of that matters when

the only thing that matters is showing you,

hoping for you, wanting to see your smile

So I guess all I can say, for now

is as much for me as it is for you,

that I'm going to try to make this work

I'm going to keep my head up high,

I'm going to hold back the tears,

I'm going to walk with dignity and respect,

I'm going to try as hard as ever,

I'm going to feel the weight of life,

I'm going to take on the weight and build the strength to lift it,

I'm going to go to sleep tonight

with the dream that someday I can fulfill this dream,

this hope, this wish

That one day you will see

that one day I can truly show

just how incredible you are

wow... this is awesome. Honest, pure, unclear in places, but every part is fitting. there are some potential rewordings, but I think those are for you to decide.
